Hm the update of systemd came with the following change:

  * Di Jul 11 2017 fbui@suse.com
  - Make sure dracut (if installed) will embed the new compat rule
    The new compat rules (as well as the compat generation number) must
    be embedded in the initramfs so make sure that the installed dracut
    supports it.

This is implemented with the following conflict directive in the spec file:

  Conflicts:      dracut < 044.1

So you're supposed to update dracut to its latest version as well, which is
dracut-044.1-26.1.x86_64 but according to your logs your version is only at
044-26.1 ...

How is this possible ?
